Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Kinda tired of the hw survey being played. Everyone knows it's BS. I've gotten it once since the client was released on Linux.
If it's so inaccurate as everybody claims, then there is also the possibility that Steam HW reports higher number of Linux users than there really are. The street goes both ways.

And if Linux ever grows to a significant percentage on Steam HW survey I don't ever want to hear you people cite the number or praise it for its accuracy.

The news of Saints Row 2 had me skeptically excited but now it's sounding more believable.

DiRT Showdown Released For Linux Thanks To Virtual Programming, Some Thoughts

Quoting: GuestTo all those naysayers, guess I'll just have to enjoy the game on my Kaveri while you're busy ranting on. Runs pretty damn flawless here. Needs GL4.1 according to a dialog window, but on Steam it lists a GL4.2 requirement - I suspect it's truly the latter. Either way, this is a solid job by VP.
I agree. AMD product must be pretty hit or miss because there are two equally loud groups who claim that AMD is either fine for Linux gaming or sub par and should be avoided. Even the monthly surveys show a near 50/50 split between those who use the open source driver and those who use the proprietary. As far as I'm concerned, AMD's integrated GCN 1.1 based APUs all run fine under the proprietary driver. I even have playlists which showcase the gaming viability of these little guys.

Though it's not native, I'm glad to have a third major porting house to tackle game ports.

Of course one of my favorite games gets an expansion just as I won't be able to play for a week. I look forward to it however.

Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II Released For Linux, With Preview Port Report
21 Jul 2015 at 7:10 pm UTC

Quoting: HadBabitsErm, welp, not what I was hoping for, but still good news. Though I wonder, how in the dark would one be if they haven't played the first? :huh:

Not a big star wars fan, but maybe I'll try it out sometime. I guess I'll continue to watch Shadow of Mordor's Steamdb entry until then :/
There is a huge plot twist in the first one that KotOR II will most certainly spoil if you haven't yet played it.

Quoting: morbiusWhy did they bother porting that garbage?
Are you saying that based on its gameplay quality or because you disagree with it?
